Deceased Memorabilia Apps

'The Last Of Me' App Lets People Leave Their Memories Behind

— June 26, 2014 — Tech
Singaporean design graduate Corina Tan created ‘The Last Of Me’ app to allow people to anticipate their last words. She was inspired to create the app after she came across a quote that points out how we often don't say the things we really want to those we love and more often then not we never do because it gets too late.

This app allows people to leave their "famous last words" or memories to those they love in case something tragic happens to them. By conducting daily obituary scans, the app knows when a user has passed away. In turn, it then releases the prepared words of the deceased user to those specified by them beforehand.

Tan is currently in the process of looking for funding and developing assistance to release the app. She ultimately wants to make the experience of death less jarring for loved ones left behind.
Trend Themes
1. Digital Legacy Optimization - Apps and platforms that allow individuals to curate their digital legacy by preserving and passing on their memories and messages to loved ones in the event of their death.
2. Posthumous Communication Technology - Apps, devices, and software that enable individuals to communicate with their loved ones beyond the grave by scheduling and sending pre-written messages, videos, and audio recordings.
3. End-of-life Personalization - Customized digital tools and services that allow people to plan and personalize their end-of-life arrangements, including memorial services, obituaries, and legacy preservation.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - Digital tools and platforms that help people preserve and pass on their memories and messages have the potential to disrupt the traditional funeral and memorial services industry.
2. Healthcare - The rise of end-of-life planning and legacy preservation services could create new opportunities for healthcare providers and insurers to offer value-added services to patients and families.
3. Social Media - Social media platforms could leverage their existing user base and communication tools to create new features and services that enable users to preserve their digital legacies and communicate beyond the grave.
